Do not smoke me off, Dear !

I was trapped one day among these smokers
In the heart of this advanced capital City 
Every person is so health conscious here
Everyone is all right, educated and smart 

All are working at these high offices  
But are not at all bothered of others 
Who does not smoke, but are helpless among them 
I am just one of them who doesn’t smoke here   

We are now being killed by this people    
Kill themselves and us by inhaling smoke
Those evil fumes come out of the cigarettes
Blow it then out to the rest of the world    

They’re tied themselves at the tip of their smokes
This end is straight on my face and my nose ! 
Governments ban public smoking, who cares !
“We have got all rights to smoke here and die” !!

“It is my right to smoke, my right to die 
If you charge me, I’m more than happy
That you acknowledge my will, my death wish,   
If you fine me, I don’t care, I am fine” he says

Smoking is not that cheap, costs a fortune
I heard them say in the past in secret  
One cigarette can feed a family
Not in our land, in those ‘third world countries’

Pack of smoke costs about forty dollars in 2019
Of which they can feed a household of four
For more than a week in those poor countries 
It is not easy to calculate so, who cares !!

I’m not here to say stop, send those money !
Stay healthy as you live in this terrain   
I don’t now care what you do to yourself   
But do care when you smoke to kill me off !!
